Who'd a Thunk It!

This time last year I was trapped in my apartment, unable to fend for myself; walk to the kitchen or energize myself enough to do even one creative thing. I had injured my right foot badly which necessitated an operation complete with the implantation of four screws which in turn meant that I had great difficulty walking (to say the least). Recovery to self sufficiency took about three months.

I always try to find a way to make that danged lemonade though, so I used the time to update my website, open my Etsy shop and start this blog!!! I really can't believe it's been a year already. My foot is about 96% healed, I'm back to my normal routine and I'm happy to say my life has changed so much - for the better.

To celebrate my blogiversary I'm having my first ever giveaway! I'm lifting the rules from my friend Christine's blog. Why re invent a wheel that seems to be turning? Play your cards right and this sweet little pendant embossed with one of my trademark fleurs will be winging it's way to you next week. Here goes:

• Leave a comment telling me what your favorite piece in my shop is. I really value your opinions because they help me to know which ones you particularly like (thanks in advance!).

• Bonus entries (help spread the word):
1. Blog about the giveaway
2. Befriend me on Facebook and tell all your other friends about the giveaway

• And to make it just a little more interesting (for me), come back and leave an additional comment when you blog or FB about the giveaway. That will let me track each of your entries (I wanna give credit where credit is due). Oh, and if you leave an anonymous comment, please be sure to include your name and e-mail addy or I won't be able to contact you!

I'll assign each entry a number and use a random number generator to pick the winner. No playing favorites. Party time starts today and ends next Tuesday at 5:00 p.m. Pacific time. Bon Chance! Party on!
